3/3/11 All of the scriptures this week involve a mountaintop experience, specifically the Mount of Transfiguration, where Jesus is transformed in front of his inner circle. As I have been working on the sermon for this week, I have come to the conclusion that we meet Jesus not just on the mountaintop but also at its base. We may have occasional spiritual highs, but we live most of life dealing with the sick, the hungry, the naked, the lost....you know people like us. And Jesus says that as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me. Those people to whom we minister become transformed....they become Jesus. We become transformed.....we are no longer stuck on a mountaintop. The mountaintop becomes transformed.....it is found on the plain.
Love,
Lynn
